BECOME A TSTA-PAC CONTINUING CONTRIBUTOR!
Is your salary important to you?
Is it important that you are covered by a good health insurance plan? Do you want to make sure that when you retire you will be able to live on your retirement benefits? If these things are important to you, then you will want to become a Continuing Contributor.
Elected officials make many of the decisions that affect your profession, especially the level of salary and benefits you receive. TSTA recognizes how important these elected officials are to your future and that is why we are involved in the political arena and have created the TSTA Continuing Contributor Program. The Program is under TSTA’s Political Action Committee.
Our Continuing Contributor Program serves as a vehicle for members who want to be involved in the political process. Through the Continuing Contributor Program they contribute money to help TSTA elect public officials who are supportive of educators and public education and will vote for salary and benefit increases. They become Continuing Contributors by contributing money either through bank draft or payroll deduction. They may also make a one-time contribution to the fund.
Because TSTA dues money cannot be used to elect public officials, we must count on our members making contributions to our Continuing Contributor Program fund. We need every TSTA member to do his or her part and give to our Continuing Contributor fund. Click here to download a new Continuing Contributor form. Fill it out, attach a voided check and send it to TSTA-PAC, 316 W. 12th St., Austin, TX 78701. Please do it today!
If you would like to support TSTA’s efforts to increase your salary and benefits, become a Continuing Contributor or give a one-time contribution. Write to Continuing Contributor Program, TSTA-PAC, 316 W. 12th St., Austin, TX 78701; call 877-ASK-TSTA, ext. 1257; or send an email to Claire Moore
